mmm, well being a graphics d esigner, i'd say it's bit depth.

palette of colours are the colours that are USED to construct an image. think of an artist with those wooden block thingies. they use a palette of colours in order to construct an image.

bit-depth IS the amount of colours that are available in an image.
bit=depth : number of bits tht describes each pixel in the image.
EG: 16-bit image would produce 2^16 different colours/tones.

I disagree on your comparison there- as a designer/painter, you have your colours first, and then you select from there before you design/paint the image correct? It doesn't go the other way.
But I think this question (from topic creator) has way too much ambiguity as it's difficult to tell whether it's asking how many colours are available in the image (ie. how many are there?) or how many are available to be used in the image kindof thing. Bleh. Too tired for this so I'm sorry if I don't make sense.
